There seems to be some slight confusion here....the programme in question was a documentary aired on Saturday last....the series is pure made for TV fiction.
As for "well worked black and dirty 707 / 720's.....er, one never looked too closely at those operated by a " well known Middle East airline noted for it's security "...although one did enjoy knocking seven bells out of the old JT3's T/Rs when they got stuck...as they were prone to do.
